Oh, I'm defintely set (that was a joke), and I've seen enough fickle
jerkwads to know better.  I just would like more than 2 weeks to prepare,
and I know I wouldn't want to make a new employer wait longer than that.

Obviously I wouldn't give notice until I had an offer in hand, but why not
warn them in advance?
